Everyone has different wardrobe needs, but there are some basics that will enhance every woman's wardrobe. Whether you are a corporate financier, technology guru or stay at home mom, check out these five must have items:
1. The little black dress: Yes, it has been said before. But, the little black dress is really a timeless piece that every woman needs. An attractive and well-cut black dress of high-quality, medium weight fabric can be dressed up or down and worn year round. A lined dress of dry cleanable fabric will hold its shape better through the years with minimal fading.
2. A pantsuit in a neutral color: A pantsuit with a classic cut is versatile and timeless. Perfect for dressing up without getting formal a pantsuit can go from office to dinner with minimal adjustments. More comfortable than a suited skirt, the pantsuit is quiet power. Consider a straight cut pantsuit in black, gray, navy or taupe for an outfit with long wear and easy accessorizing. If a matching skirt strikes your eye, by all means get it too, but you will find the pants will call you the majority of the time.
3. A crisp, collared white shirt: A collared white shirt may seem ordinary, but it as versatile as they come. Pair it with the classic pantsuit or wear it with jeans and boots for a casual outfit that can go nearly anywhere. Avoid trendy styles and opt for this necessary basic.
4. A sweater twinset: A cardigan sweater over a matching shell is the perfect layered look for casual elegance. Worn with a pencil or a-line skirt, it is all about understated elegance. Topping slacks, it has a more finished look than a simple top or sweater.
5. Comfortable jeans: The last few decades have ensured the place of jeans in fashion history. A comfortable pair of jeans is one of the most ingenious members of a woman's wardrobe. Like a good friend, they flatter and endure. When they fade, mourn their passing, but continue to wear them until their last threads disintegrate.
